The Lost Abbey to Release Angel’s Share and Track #10

21 Jan 2015 --- 2015 will mark the return of two oak-aged beers into The Lost Abbey’s Barrel Program: Brandy barrel-aged Angel’s Share and Track #10 from The Ultimate Box Set.

Brandy Angel’s Share, last released in 2011, is The Lost Abbey’s English-style barley wine aged in brandy barrels for a minimum of twelve months. Brewed with copious amounts of caramel malt to emphasize the vanilla and oak flavors present in the freshly emptied brandy barrels. Aromas of brandy, sweet cocoa powder and roasted malts lead to flavors of dark fruit, freshly ground coffee, and a lasting vanilla finish. 2015 Brandy Angel’s Share will be a limited, draft-only release.

Track #10, the highest rated beer out of the Ultimate Box Set garnered scores of 100 on RateBeer and 98 on Beer Advocate, and only the second beer to be granted a revival besides Track #8 in 2014. A barrel-aged version of Serpent’s Stout aged on vanilla beans, coffee and cacao nibs in Bourbon barrels, Track #10 was the recipient of the bronze medal in both the 2012 Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers (Experimental Beer) and the 2013 San Diego International Beer Festival (Unique Ingredient Beer). Layers of dark roasted espresso, creamy caramel, and milk chocolate are followed by a bite from the bourbon barrels relinquishing into a smooth, sweet, vanilla oak finish. Track #10 will be released in 375 ml cork and caged bottles and limited draft.

Both beers are set for release throughout the entire Lost Abbey distribution network beginning in January.
